Aurora Orchestra joins celebrated violist Lawrence Power for a magnificent Italian-themed finale to his year-long Southbank Centre residency.
At the heart of the programme is Harold in Italy, Hector Berlioz’s vivid evocation of a journey through Italy, scored for solo viola and orchestra.
Commissioned by Paganini in the early 1830s, this piece is a masterpiece in musical storytelling and an extraordinary showcase for Power’s artistry as one of the world’s greatest exponents of his instrument. Aurora brings its distinctive Orchestral Theatre approach to the piece, incorporating elements of design and staging to further illuminate Berlioz’s score.
In the second half, Aurora presents another evocation of the landscapes of Italy, with a world-first performance by heart of Mendelssohn’s vibrant fourth symphony under Principal Conductor Nicholas Collon.
